POULTRY HOUSES RULED Our.-George
ID. Goofhue writes to the willamette Far
Dter as follows: Perhaps friends will think
that the poultry editor has stepped down
from his high ladder when he asserts that
chicken house is an abominable thing in
a poultry yard, and regular nuisance for
at least nine months in the year. We con-
1dentiy assert that there have beer more
fowls killed by lice in lighthouses than
there have been by coons and foxes in the
Willamette valley. Imagine, reader, our
sixteen years fighting lice out of hen
houses, and then having to come down to
the pure air of heaven and a good fir tree
| for our fowls to roost in. Imagine further.
our mechanical and coy breeding-houses
all torn down and used for other purposes.
while simple roost in the center of each
yard about two feet high. and two boards
backed together against the fence and on
the ground, forming a box for laying pur-
poses. end our ornamental display of
poultry fixtures. We prefer to keep a
good collie dog, and discard our hen
houses orDamented with lice and IN
healthy chickens. We find our fow all
healthy and they lay 80 per cent. better. Our
chicks are raised with bat little loss, and
we have the satisfaction of knowing that
our time is not spent in vain: We have
not been killing 100000, 600 lice to-day
and get up and find 100000, 900 at their
funeral.
